Prepare to make a journey with Lil Yachty on Let’s Start Here, his fifth studio album that dropped on Friday (Jan. 27) through Concrete Records, Motown Records and Quality Control Music.

In an interview with Ice Box final yr, the rapper revealed he was stepping into a unique course with the sound of his upcoming studio effort. “My new album is a non-rap album,” he declared. “It’s alternative, it’s sick… It’s like a psychedelic alternative project. It’s different. It’s all live instrumentation.” 

This wouldn’t be Yachty’s first dip into the style, as he collaborated with Tame Impala on a 2021 remix of “Breathe Deeper” from The Slow Rush B-Sides & Remixes, which peaked at No. 47 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. 

In the week main as much as the album’s launch, he unveiled a virtually two-minute skit titled “Department of Mental Tranquility,” which reveals Yachty strolling into the video’s namesake and responding to a receptionist’s pestering, miscellaneous questions in a sweltering ready room replete with erratic folks earlier than the performer rigorously enters into the white mild.

Yachty launched his final full-length album, Lil Boat 3, on May 29, 2020. The 19-track set, which included lead single “Oprah’s Bank Account” that includes DaBaby and Drake, launched at No. 14 on the Billboard 200.
